Bob’s free talk will look at “Cody to Yellowstone over the past 150 years,” the Center states. “In exploring the history of Yellowstone as the Park has matured over all that time, he shares many early day photos—by his father Jack Richard, his uncle Ned Frost, and several of his own. The Frost and Richard families have been involved in Yellowstone for more than 138 of those 150 years,” the Center says.

The Center’s McCracken Research Library hosts and coordinates the Local Lore series, holding talks on the third Thursday of each month. Coming up, the presentation on August 18^th explores the “scenic East Entrance Road to Yellowstone.”
